    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Well, it's been several months now. I want to have replacements on hand. I went to the Sennheiser website (US), and it pointed me to cushions for the IE-300, and to top it off: Needless to say, my first reaction is What The eFF? Oh, and another thing, when I push the dual-fit cushions into...

    Where can a customer buy replacements for the included cushions? And other cushion mfgs, are they going to make models that take advantage of the dual-depth feature in the aftermarket?

    I've had my IE-900's a month. The first week while catching up on this thread, I was feverishly switching back and forth between these new IEMs and my wonderful A&K T8iE MkII's. Back and forth. Same music. With the purchase of the IE-900's, I've reinforced the fact that I much prefer...

    "Sibilance refers to the high-frequency components of certain vocal sounds, especially “s” and “sh”. Sibilance lives in the 5 to 10 kHz frequency range and can cause problems if over-emphasized in a recording." In many cases, it is the bane of audio engineers, who collectively have come up...

    The IE900's mate in my realm is the Astell & Kern Futura SE-100. These babies like the hell out of the potential 4.1 Vrms (bal) out of the A&K. Playback is effortless, and the combination could make ears bleed. Like I alluded to in earlier posts, where I'd set volume @ 106 on my A&K T8iEs, I...

    I hadn't even heard of this "Belkis" piece until about 2 years ago. Now this suite version is one of my favorites. This RR version goes all out, and makes good on all the requirements of the score, including a real tenor. And to think I considered myself well-versed in music. Sheesh! Oh...

    Au contraire mon ami. Power isn't about average volume only. When you listen to a wide dynamic range recording with no compression, your average listening only takes maybe 1/100th or less of the actual power output of your DAP. Since volume is not linear in its progression but rather...

    Hmm. Reminds me of Ray Lynch, but without the bass roll-off. Definitely driven by rhythm, not so unlike Le Sacre..

    My IE900s absolutely love recordings from Telarc and Reference Recordings. But with Telarc all but gone, who's stepped in?

    I've been buying Comply for so long that when I found these in the IEM closet, I have no recollection of ever purchasing them. Does anyone recognize these? I'd love to find some more. Does anyone recognize these cushions?
